Last saturday was my mums party. Good and bad things to say about it.
It was a shame that the football match between Russia and Holland was on the same day, so my mum planned it that we ate at 7, or started then and then people could watch the game at 8.45 and after we could come back to enjoy some drinks etc.
Few people misread the invitation so they turned up at 8. Wich resulted in rushing through the food and people watching the game.
after that there was another 30 minutes extra because Holland was simply playing dramatically. So at around 11 pm everyone was done with the football (and I mean really done, Russia won.) so at 12 pm people started leaving again, wich was a bit of a shame.
for myself, after working quite hard on friday and saturday to get this all going and in between not nearly enough sleep, i got a bit pissed at people coming late and probably drank a bottle of rose even before dinner. It was really unlike me, since I dont drink that much. Thank god I didn't feel drunk though :) What did get to me was that i was really tired.. I didn't talk to a lot of people and only wanted to go to bed :P
It sounds all really negative, but it was an awesome party, just was to damn tired and that stupid game ruined a bit of fun.
But then again, will not try and organise this big of a party anytime soon :P

21st of june my mum is throwing her (2nd) 50th birthday party!
It's her birthday on the 9th of december but since she wanted a garden party she decided not to celebrate it then, since thats a bit cold xD, but in the summer. So William (her boyfriend) and me decided that was bullshit and threw her a surprise party in december and in 2 weeks, she will throw her own party :)
My uncle lives on a farm and the party will be held there and it's a lot of planning involved. Because of my mum's health she doesnt have the energy a "normal" person has, so she started planning a while ago and asked some people to help her in the process. I took the day before the party off from work so I can help her with cooking etc. On the day itself I'm going there early to help set up and more cooking. But now... I'm in charge of music!! I'm so happy, love music :D
So I thought, 50th birthday, she wants to dance.. I downloaded all the Tour of Duty cd's (anyone remember them? :P) and my mum was fiddling around on youtube to see what she liked. We got a whole list, from Chris Isaak to Dolly Parton to Gerudo Valley from Zelda (YES!!!) and now it's my job to get them all on cd's ^^
Looking forward to the party, at least I know the music will be good ;)
